Margaret Atwood, the acclaimed Canadian author, joins Jian for a feature chat about her latest book In Other Worlds: SF and the Human Imagination.

The author of The Handmaid's Tale and Oryx and Crake talks about why she has rejected the sci-fi label for her own work, what aliens and robots tell us about the human nature, and how speculative fiction can help change the world.  

Bonus web content: why superheroes wear tight pants, a Jungian interpretation of Batman, and Jian gets schooled on space opera.
